Celebrities like winners. And because the Bulls won six titles in the 1990s, celebrities really seemed to like the Bulls back then.

With former Bulls players getting together Wednesday at the Montgomery Club in River North for the Chicago Bulls Insider Session: Championship Edition, which benefited Chicago Bulls Charities, I decided to ask about the bold names in the crowd during their title runs.

“Leonardo DiCaprio came into the locker room after the Utah victory in '98 — that was just after ‘Titanic' came out,” said Bill Wennington, now the Bulls radio color commentator, adding that he and his teammates were too busy celebrating their title to get star-struck. “Everyone was celebrating and in the moment, so it was more like ‘Look whose here.' "

“I remember with Dennis, having Madonna there,” said Randy Brown, now the Bulls assistant general manager. Brown said the famous fans sometimes came up during games. “We'd have moments where we'd lean over and have a conversation about who was in the crowd.”

Celebs these days have been flocking to the two-time defending champion Miami Heat, in large part because of megastar LeBron James. Pop stars Justin Bieber and Drake were spotted at Heat games last year, though they have no Miami ties. It's reminiscent of the '90s Bulls.

“We had Michael Jordan,” said Stacey King, now the Bulls TV color commentator. “Everyone wanted to come see those Bulls teams. We traveled well. It was like being in a rock band.”
